Help[Opinions] Re: Corinne
in reply to a message by Cake or Death
I’m not suggesting anyone would mishear them for the same name, it’s just that the pronunciation keh-RIN is so bland and un-noteworthy compared to the French, or kə-REEN or even just plain ko-RIN that you might as well just use Karen.
The emphasis is different, yes, but the sounds are very similar, at least to a British English speaker who has heard the American pronunciation of Karen. To be honest, I’m not even sure how you get keh-RIN out of Corinne.
For what it’s worth, I pronounce Karen as KA-rən.
